About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

I've had some pretty bad New Year's Eves in my life. But this one was officially...The! Worst! Ever!

My wife had just given birth to a baby that wasn't mine. My son had just walked out on his bride-to-be on the eve of their wedding. And my old dear was making threats of revenge against me for allowing her to choke on the olive from her breakfast martini.

Throw into the mix three infant sons who were banned from every public park and children's play centre in the city; a father who was working with dodgy Russian business interests to put himself in the Taoiseach's office; and a daughter who was about to do something truly shocking - even by her standards.

But then, one day, totally out of the blue, I received a very unexpected phone call....

And let's just say that Schmidt got real.

Excellent as Usual

I love reading all Rock books, but it was just amazing to hear Rory Nolan bring Ross to life in such an excellent delivery.
I would love all the books to be put into audiobook format.
This is a great book, I have come to expect nothing less from Paul Howard. The character development has stayed true to self throughout years of writing and this book is no different. You will belly laugh your way through this one.
Thank you for always delivering!

Hilarious

This book is as good as medicine, even for a Northsider like myself, if you need a good laugh. The narrator is sooo brilliant and funny. I can’t wait to “stort” the next one. Jaysus, I’m speaking like a Southsider now.

Pissing myself laughing
